Dear SaaStr: What Causes Co-Founder Breakups? Yes. I’ve had one. It’s really tough to go through. The root cause for mine, and most of the ones I’ve observed, is disalignment on goals and outcomes: Do you want to IPO, but your cofounder would be happy to sell for $2m?

Why? It's simple: Reusing passwords puts you at a heightened risk for hacking. If someone discovers your password at just one website — via any sort of breach, be it large-scale or targeted — they can then use that same password to crack into
